March 29th is IDD Awareness Day! This day is dedicated to supporting, advocating for, and celebrating those with developmental disabilities, the families that surround them, and the staff that support them. In celebration, organizations from all over the state get to nominate a Direct Support Professional who embodies advocacy and is a shining light in their field. Meet our two nominees!
Trish Nickerson
Been at Horizons for almost 6 years
Trish is a go-getter. She’s caring, positive, kind, and most of all, genuine. She often goes out of her way to help create opportunities for individuals to get out and do something they are passionate about. This often happens outside of her normal shift hours, but her genuine love for spending time with the individuals she works with is unbound by her work schedule. Trish is a true asset and we are honored to have worked with her over the years.
Blake Beh
Been at Horizons for almost 10 years
Blake radiates positivity and her bubbly personality makes her approachable to her peers and individuals in services. She has an uncanny ability to motivate individuals and can build a bridge over the widest canyon to reach someone on the other side. Blake always has a smile on her face and has been an impressive force for change since she started.

Early Intervention
We offer free services to kids birth to three who are showing delays in learning to crawl, walk, listen, speak, play, feed themselves or reach other milestones. We’re here to play, learn, and grow together!
WE believe in person centered thinking
We treat people with respect and empower them to set and reach their own personal goals – like Sue skiing her way to the Special Olympics
